Over the forty years of his professional career, Arthur B. Rubinstein has composed and conducted music for film, theater and the concert stage, in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Rome and Berlin.

As Music Director of Symphony In The Glen since 1993 to the present, Maestro Rubinstein has conducted some fifty free concerts with a repertoire of over two hundred works, ranging from Baroque to Beethoven, Puccini to Piazzolla, Rossini to Reveultas---including several World and Los Angeles premiers of new and rarely heard works.

Among Mr. Rubinstein’s concert works are Octet for Percussion, commissioned by the 1979 Berlin Jazz Festival and Breugel: 'Dance Visions', a four-movement suite for tuba and chamber orchestra, commissioned and recorded by Jim Self for his solo album, 'Changing Colors'. In 2001, Rubinstein composed 'MetroMorphosis', a three-movement symphonic suite which he describes as a “musical portrait of the evolution of Los Angeles from desert to teeming metropolis”, and in 2003 he composed 'DreamCycle', for solo violin, soprano saxophone, strings and percussion. (Both works were premiered by Symphony In The Glen.) In October, 2006, 'DreamCycle' will be recorded for Centaur Records, and on October 15, Symphony In The Glen will present the premier of Maestro Rubinsein’s 'Phantom Fairground', a Halloween tone-poem.

Currently, Rubinstein is working on three separate projects for the legitimate theatre. Most recently he composed the music and collaborated on lyrics for a musical adaptation of Leonid Andreyev's tale of love and revenge in the circus, 'He Who Gets Slapped'. The musical had its initial production in May of 2004, at the Hubbard Hall Theatre in Cambridge, New York, and is slated for major production in Los Angeles next year. In addition, Rubinstein is serving as Music director, adaptor, orchestrator and original music composer for a multi-media production of Gluck’s 'Orpheus & Eurydice', also slated for major production in 2006.

Since moving to Los Angeles in 1980, Rubinstein has composed original music for more than 200 motion picture and television presentations, most notably 'WAR GAMES', 'WHOSE LIFE IS IT, ANYWAY?', 'BLUE THUNDER', 'STAKEOUT', and 'LOST IN AMERICA'. Among Rubinstein's many television credits is the score for 'SHOOTING WAR', the critically acclaimed primetime documentary about WWII newsreel cameramen for ABC Television, produced by Stephen Spielberg and narrated by Tom Hanks. His music for the CBS series 'SCARECROW & MRS. KING' earned him an Emmy Award for original composition.

Mr. Rubinstein has served as guest instructor on film composition at the University of Southern California and helped create the Film Music Department at the Sundance Institute. He received a Bachelor Degree in music from Yale University.
